Qld Xmas In July 2007 - Case Swap

[bconnery]

Ben,

I take it that you are reusing the old tops on Coopers plastic bottles?
I got a pack of new tops trom Big Dub for a few $$$ & had no trouble at all.

Off topic I know, but can anyone remember the thread where someone explained how to use Google to operate the forum Search Function?

:beer:

I used new lids, some just didn't work...

search like this (for example)... Youngs Double Chocolate Stout site:aussiehomebrewer.com
It's a pain in the backside typing the site bit everytime but it works much better...

Should we be looking at finalising this soon?

 

[Zizzle]

Can someone remind me what date was decided on again? For some reason I don't feel like sorting through 15 pages.

28th, mate.

Sadly I will have to knock myself off the list, too much going on up here this month and last month has been so busy I haven't had a chance to brew the case. Hope you guys have a blast.

It's slowly carbonating. Should be right for swap night.

I hear your pain bro, full keg of stout on Friday afternoon, empty keg come Monday. The keg must have a hole in it. :blink:

Well, our second biggest gathering is just around the corner. As usual I'm really looking forward to it. I think we should look at finalising the swap participants and organising the food side of things. Are all the reserves still keen? Batz, how about you? I believe pizza is the go for dinner, so we will have to supply nibblies and breakfast. Incider, some more of your rellenos would be awesome if you can manage it.

cheers

Browndog

 

[bonj]

Well, I'm seduced...

How about I bring a couple of loaves of bread for breakfast?

I just tapped my non-case swap pilsner and it's tasting pretty good. It's a little low on the IBU's, but the case swap one is higher, so I think it'll be a bit more balanced. Still a bit yeasty , but I'm going to put them both in the fridge at as cold as I can get it, so I'm hoping that'll clear them.

I can't wait! Oh, and I 2nd the vote for more rellenos! They were a hit at Batz's place.

You work it out?

:beer:

 

[InCider]

You work it out?

:beer:

Yep. Had a 'problem' with some beer and had to whack another down. I had to see if I could get one done in time. No wuckens.

Pete, are we getting the train to Winkles?

InCider.

 

[bonj]

Is that the same "problem" that Sqyre had?

ie. Someone drank it? :beer:

Trust me it wasn't a problem...

i have also spent the last 2 days taste testing the porter..and its looking pretty good..

might have to take a few more samples to be sure though..

Sqyre..

 

[bonj]

I'm resisting the temptation to do extensive "quality control" on my contribution, as the yield wasn't as high as I'd have liked. I'd hate to have to pull out of the swap because I didn't have enough. (Although I do have a slightly different batch (Hallertau bittering instead of Saaz) as a backup.)

 

[InCider]

I wish. Oh how I wish!

Can't wait for the swap!

InCider.

Sean,

Won't be going by train mate.
Due to my calendar I am not too sure yet if I will be just collecting or staying on the 28th?
Our old mate Screwtop should be going down to Winkles & I'm sure there will be plenty of room for you & your gear if he feels so inclined?

:beer:

 

[browndog]

You blokes should take a leaf out of my book, I made two batches exactly the same on the same day. Oddly enough they turned out the same too, one to swap, one to drink :beerbang: Infact I am drinking one right this minute and am pretty happy with it to boot.

cheers

Browndog

 

[TidalPete]

You work it out?

I did not say I had a problem with my contribution. I have tasted it and it is quite nice.
It is up to you to find out if it is an 80/- or a 79/6. :lol:
Rossco, lips sealed tight please.
